A Conversation about God

"Hi there, Jane."

"Hi Anne. Great to see you again."

"Yeah... Its been a while since we met... Aah Choo..."

"Bless you"

"Aah... Aah... Aah choo..." (Uses hanky).

"Bless you"

"Excuse me Anne. It's the damned weather thats geting on to me."

"These days everybody gets the flu. Even Tom had it last week".

"Oh.. Tom!!! How is he doing nowadays?"

"He is doing okay...a bit naughty at times."

"Thats nice to hear, dear. Boy, he must have grown... How old is he now?"

"He is seven now."

"Seven!!!! How time flies? Even Rick had the flu last month. He was suffering a lot."

"Yeah.. I know how bad it can be. Me and Jim were really upset when Tom had the flu. We were moved to tears to see him suffering. Now he is doing okay."

"Rick did not eat properly when he had the flu. I hope I dont pass it on to him again".

"Did I tell you that we went for a vacation last month to the Caymans? We took Tom with us and he enjoyed the most."

"Oh...thats cool. How did Tom react to the water?"

"He enjoyed it a lot. That was his first experience with the ocean and beach. In fact he took it like a fish takes to the water".

"Thats wonderful. When we went for vacation to Hawaii last summer, Rick was scared of the water and he stayed indoors when I went surfing alone".

"Poor Rick."

"Yeah.. He did feel miserable."

"Tom enjoyed playing the Frisbee. He soon got the hang of it."

"Yeah. Even Rick likes the Frisbee. He prides himself in being an excellent catcher."

"Is that a new collar that I see you are carrying?"

"Yes. It is. It's for Rick."

"Why? What happened?"

"His neck problem is still there. His other collar got old and I thought of getting him a new one."

"Oh... You take good care of him."

"Yes. Rick is hoping to get his surgery done and we have booked for it. The waiting time is 5 months."

"Oh.. that reminds me. I need to pick up a new collar for Tom and also fix up the appointment with his regular Veterinarian for his annual vaccination. Its due next month."

"Yeah. Better do that on time. Don't take any chances. Also, try the new fur-cleaner that they show on TV. Tom will like it."

"Yes. I will try that too. Okay dear. Its getting late and I better get going. Need to stock up on some Pedigree and Ceaser for Tom on my way home. Tell Rick to take things a bit easy at the office. He is working too hard."

"I will surely pass it on. He never listens to me anyway. See you Jane. Take care of Tom and don't forget the fur-cleaner."



PS: There is a typo in the title of this post. Instead of typing it as Dog, it was wrongly typed as God. The order of the words is also incorrect. Thank you for your patience.
